Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JamesFrankFlint James Flint (@JamesFrankFlint) reported

    @edin_thinker @Paulblake8A @nicholadrummond The problem with combat UGVs that I envisage, is that like mine fields, they will require 24/7 overwatch to be effective, and protected.

  • CullanSmith Cullan 'PirateFlag' Smith (@CullanSmith) reported

    Got an error that locks me out of Overwatch for a few hours just as we have warmup and officials 🤡

  • OwnerWhiskey Whiskey, Frostsorrows Owner (@OwnerWhiskey) reported

  • hothdong 蓝东东 lovebot (@hothdong) reported

    Yoohyeon and overwatch have officially broken up 💔💔💔💔💔

  • joshua_menke Josh Menke (@joshua_menke) reported

    @B00MP0PS @kennyd989 @That_Guy_Bobski Ah, sorta. I don't have a huge issue with displaying MMR --- we did in World of Warcraft for awhile, and Overwatch does it as well. But the focus should be on CSR which is proving you deserve the MMR or proving the MMR is wrong.

    Overwatch asia server down and we all banned 15min.....

  • Okimasaii Okimasai (@Okimasaii) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @DarkHorseComics Bruh idk if it’s just me but game chat on Overwatch on Xbox doesn’t work properly- I’ve been having the issue where I can go into game chat, but I can’t speak or hear other players. In comp it’s a issue. I’ve updated my controller and have done everything possible nothing works😔

  • DawidPatryk666 Dawid (@DawidPatryk666) reported

    @amonsandmemes @itbetheplantman @TheNCSmaster However, I don't know why Acti would want to add Crash to game like Overwatch or Diablo 4. Unless it'd be a skin and/or some easter egg/cameo/reference.

  • PewPewToph Zeref Saito ;-;🌈 (@PewPewToph) reported

    @somnatik @PlayOverwatch Most of their time catering to the overwatch league players. They fail to realize that some characters are broken.

  • vengenz_v ✩‧₊*:・vengenz⁷ ・:*₊‧✩ (@vengenz_v) reported

    @Gehenna1986B I had this issue before when I edited stuff for Overwatch. Suddenly I found my edits on bedsheets etc on Etsy like wtf??

  • mercysbf ghost 🪐 (@mercysbf) reported

    the only reason im clinging onto life atm is because of overwatch winter wonderland and the mfers havent even announced it yet </3 im so heart broken blizzard please pull thru

  • WeebHentaiGuy Hentai (@WeebHentaiGuy) reported

    @aIIstargoth I'm just trying to calm people down they get so stressed about it, half of the people i talk with are almost panicing or close to. i try to give them hope. I'm pretty sure the trailer is today. blizzard and overwatch could be having a issue with twitter or something.

  • PewPewToph Zeref Saito ;-;🌈 (@PewPewToph) reported

    I swear to god @PlayOverwatch if y’all don’t get your **** together and fix your matchmaking system in overwatch 2. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

  • NXGHTJJK lei⁷ flop era (@NXGHTJJK) reported

    @Rea007A wait why tf did i say Tae, u said overwatch goodbye my brains not working

  • iwastheweather Rainyy ☔🍋 (Kasey) (@iwastheweather) reported

    @araraginn confused what you mean i mean i hate when people complain about something not broken then the devs just give in and change it to shut them up. Its a big reason why overwatch became unplayable. What you mean by greedy ??

  • manutururuuu A Patroa (@manutururuuu) reported

    Breaking news: Blizzard forgot about overwatch Christmas event and overwatch 2 at the same time, the only 5 players left in the game notice the problem and cry

  • qRezlp Hola, Amigo (@qRezlp) reported

    @KudosOnYT @Griefdrums LISTEN LISTEN. ITS COMING. On the PS5 after a match you can give them like idk a compliment like the same system in Overwatch. Idk if it was a glitch or something but it did give me the option

  • monkish_g Always be salty| Monkish (@monkish_g) reported

    People that play overwatch are mad because they cant admit they are 90% of the problem.

  • BazaaroDundee BazaaroDundee (@BazaaroDundee) reported

    @Apallohno I play a lot of PC Overwatch, and most the time saying GG isn’t a problem. Probably just toxic players. Hopefully you don’t keep running into that!

  • DawidPatryk666 Dawid (@DawidPatryk666) reported

    @amonsandmemes @itbetheplantman @TheNCSmaster I mean, adding Crash to Overwatch, Diablo 4 or any other Activision Blizzard's game isn't part of the marketing deal between Acti and Sony. So if Acti would want to do it, they can without asking Sony.

  • PostDData1 PostDData (@PostDData1) reported

    @GildasC @speedlapse @Pimp_CSGO Esports is totally different, the main reason why LoL is the best esport is because of you can find 5 major regions, and the main reason why Overwatch failed is because of they focused just in NA and maybe some KR. For you maybe not but for Valve losing NA is a big problem.

  • Shayy_TV Shay (@Shayy_TV) reported

    12) Streaming Overwatch was hard because I never got to read my chat often and I always had to be on red alert because the community does like to randomly throw around words that'll get me in trouble. ...Also, back then I had much worse anger management and it showed. :/

  • Maho2Akane Akane Sakai (@Maho2Akane) reported

    Well I can’t play Overwatch anymore(See: Broken laptop) and it honestly sucks that this happened right before the Winter Wonderland event but there’s not much I can do so back to x Reader and crying I guess

  • amonsandmemes イんムイ の刀乇 ム尺乇ムイ ひ刀ᄃレ乇ム刀 の刀乇. (@amonsandmemes) reported

    @DawidPatryk666 @itbetheplantman @TheNCSmaster So what you are saying is that there is a chance, small chance if Sony agrees, to see Crash in Overwatch 2 or Diablo 4?

  • AssualtKing201 Assualtking (@AssualtKing201) reported

    I know the error says that I lost connection to the server but I have not gotten this code in Overwatch or Modern Warefare.

  • riefyrief FolliclyChallenged!Rief (@riefyrief) reported

    i know we dont talk about overwatch anymore but doomfist is STILL such a crazy broken hero omg im watching highlights from pros and the **** they pull of shouldnt be legal tbh

  • bearosapien Bearosapien - COMMISSIONS CLOSED (@bearosapien) reported

    @YourCutestEnemy XD See, the thing is, when I first started Overwatch, I myself was a Bastion main. XD Hence the problem. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE

  • PieterTroffaes Berrien (@PieterTroffaes) reported

    @ianhamilton_ @ZoeRowen @IndieGamerChick I hadn't heard that about Overwatch, I only have a few WoW friends with varying colorblindness and they really liked the sliders. But it speaks to the fact that fix-alls just don't exist for CB and even with good intentions you can still mess up.

  • keytofate Rokusasu (@keytofate) reported

    im broken dude. zero emotions im watching this dude play overwatch. he got a dono to his stroke victim mom or something and just cant give a single ****. not one he's afk in game, just crying. like mute mic my g. ******* hell

  • The_Hive_311 WattsonSimp (@The_Hive_311) reported
